Abstract

An apparatus for supporting a hand held liquid dispensing device which affords a storage capability for the device as well as affords the filling of containers and buckets. In a preferred manner the apparatus provides for the support of two dispensing devices and the filling of two containers or one container and a bucket. In another preferred manner, the apparatus provides for two supports for the dispensing device and one for a container.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

       8. The apparatus as defined in  claim 7  wherein tbe foot portion includes a concave portion for receiving a bottle. 
     
     
       9. The apparatus as defined in  claim 1  wherein there are two oppositely disposed at least one second support members connected to the frame member, the frame member defined by a first portion extending in a first direction and a second portion extending essentially at right angles to the first portion, the second portion connected to the two oppositeJy disposed second support members. 
     
     
       10. The apparatus as defined in  claim 9  wherein the frame member is composed of rod members. 
     
     
       11. A combined hand held liquid dispensing device and apparatus for supporting the device comprising:
 a liquid dispensing device; 
 at least one first support member receiving a nozzle portion of the dispensing device; and 
 at least one second support member for holding a container, the at least first and second support members being spaced from each other in substantial axial alignment and connected to a frame member for connection to a supporting structure the at least first support member constructed and arranged to facilitate the filling of the container when the nozzle portion is placed in the at least first support member and a container is placed on the at least second support member in one instance and the at least second support member being displaceable in another instance to provide a hose connection to the nozzle portion for filling of a bucket. 
 
     
     
       12. The apparatus as defined in  claim 11  wherein the at least one first support member includes a cavity. 
     
     
       13. The apparatus as defined in  claim 12  wherein the cavity includes a passage constructed and arranged to permit passage of the nozzle portion therethrough. 
     
     
       14. The apparatus as defined in  claim 11  wherein the at least one second support member is pivotably connected to the frame member. 
     
     
       15. The apparatus as defined in  claim 11  wherein there are two oppositely disposed first support members connected to the frame member. 
     
     
       16. The apparatus as defined in  claim 11  wherein the at least one first support member is defined by a platform having a cavity for placement of the nozzle portion of the dispensing device therein. 
     
     
       17. The apparatus as defined in  claim 11  wherein the at least one second support member is defined by a foot portion, the foot portion supported by the frame and pivotally connected to the frame member. 
     
     
       18. The apparatus as defined in  claim 17  wherein the foot portion includes a concave portion for receiving a bottle. 
     
     
       19. The apparatus as defined in  claim 11  wherein there are two oppositely disposed at least one second support members connected to the frame member, the frame member defined by a first portion extending in a first direction and a second portion extending essentially at right angles to the first portion, the second portion connected to the two oppositely disposed second support members. 
     
     
       20. The apparatus as defined in  claim 19  wherein the frame member is composed of rod members. 
     
     
       21. An apparatus for supporting a hand held liquid dispensing device comprising:
 at least one first support member for receiving a nozzle portion of the dispensing device; and 
 at least one second support member for holding a container, the at least first and second support members being spaced from each other in substantial axial alignment and connected to a frame member for connection to a supporting structure, the frame member including at least one third support member for the dispensing device the at least one first support member constructed and arranged to facilitate the filling of the container when the nozzle portion is placed in the at least one first support member and a container is placed on the at least one second support member in one instance and the at least one second support member being displaceable in another instance to provide a hose connection to the nozzle portion for filling of a bucket. 
 
     
     
       22. The apparatus as defined in  claim 21  wherein the frame member includes at least one side portion connected to the at least one third support member.

       26. An apparatus for supporting a hand held liquid dispensing device comprising:
 at least one first support member for receiving a nozzle portion of the dispensing device; 
 at least one second support member for holding a container, the first and second at least one support members being spaced from each other in substantial axial alignment and connected to a frame member for connection to a supporting structure, the at least one second support member being pivotally connected to the frame member, the frame member including at least one third support member for the dispensing device; and 
 a funnel for placement in the at least one first support member and the at least one second support member being pivotally connected to the frame member. 
 
     
     
       27. An apparatus for supporting a hand held liquid dispensing device comprising:
